This guide was designed for substance misuse prevention practitioners to help them better understand and access online registries for evidence-based programs and practices for
substance misuse. These registries are websites that assess evaluations of behavioral health programs and rate their effectiveness using research evidence. They provide prevention
practitioners with the information they need to select the programs/practices that would be the best fit for the needs of their communities.
The purpose of the user guides is to help tobacco control staff and partners implement evidence-based best practices by translating research into practical guidance
